WFU/India – Culture and Communication in India (COM 370) The program will focus on the ways in which Indian cultural practices have developed into a hybridized format with elements that sustain some of the traditional components of Indian culture that have been synthesized with global cultural trends. Sustainability in cultural practices is an important emerging issue in understanding global trends. Most courses that deal with sustainability focus only on scientific and technological issues emphasizing the ways in which new practices are being adopted to ensure that ecosystems are protected and sustained. This course examines the issues of sustainability of the cultural ecology of a specific ancient cultural system. As such, it would examine the ways in which fundamental aspects of culture, for instance language, is being sustained in India where new language forms are emerging as the local languages are being transformed by the influence of English. The course will examine different cultural indicators made up of everyday material practices including media practices and technological adaptations that demonstrate how the people of India are creating a unique set of practices that sustain the traditional/local while adopting the modern/ global trends.

WFU/Nepal – Culture and Mental Health (ANT 383 & ANT 384) Nepal, a country famous for its mountains, also has a rich history and culture. With a population of nearly 30 million, its people also exhibit great diversity. Its traditions and social practices are shaped by exposure to globalism, urbanization, democracy and issues of universal human rights. In places like Kathmandu, these factors are palpable, but in rural areas where the vast majority of people still farm or herd animals, they are less pronounced. Wake Forest University’s Summer Program in Nepal (SPIN) is based in a semi-urban town about 100 miles west of Kathmandu. During the program, students conduct research on how social status affects peoples’ lives. They also work on a development project in assisting in assessing community needs of marginalized people and planning to meet those needs. Needs focus on poverty, education, health and the needs of women and children. Other activities include trekking the Annapurna Trail, visits to cultural and educational sites that may include the Royal Palace in Patan, Boudanath, Marsangdi College, hospitals and religious temples.

Africa Programs

WFU/Ghana – Studies in Africa (AFS 220) The summer study program in Ghana is based at the University of Ghana in Accra. Accra, the capital of Ghana (formerly known as the Gold Coast), is located at the coast and it is a bustling city of close to two million people. AFS 220 is a required course for the African Studies minor and it is designed to provide the student with a case study of African history, politics, economy, society, arts, and religion. Three learning methods will be adopted in the course. The first method, a series of formal lectures by the program director and guest lecturers, will deploy a number of theoretical approaches to analyze a variety of subjects and issues. Among the topics and issues to be discussed are: Ghanaian pre-colonial states and societies; colonialism and its impact; military rule and the democratization process in Ghana; traditional religions, Islam, and Christianity in Ghana; the debt crisis and the challenges of transforming the Ghanaian economy. The second teaching method is the field trips and excursions which will allow students to investigate specific expressions of these subjects on the ground. The trips will take the students to such places as the Makola and Kumasi markets, the Cape Coast Castle, Kakum National Park, Asantehene’s palace in Kumasi, and the Kwame Nkrumah’s mausoleum. In these places, the students will experience the complex history of a country that was once the seat of the mighty Ashanti Empire and holds the legacy as the major center for gold, ivory and slave trade in centuries past. As well, the students will witness the dynamic energy of a changing society whose economy, politics, and culture exhibit an interpenetration of traditional and contemporary practices. The third learning method that the course will adopt is through volunteer service in a non-governmental institution (NGO). Specifically, the students will volunteer twice a week at the Street Girls Aid (S.Aid) Daycare Center. The S.Aid is a Ghanaian NGO set up to assist girls who came to Accra from the rural areas in search of opportunities but who soon became jobless and homeless. The daycare center takes care of their young children while they work on the streets as peddlers. Summer Session I.

Summer Internships Abroad

The Wake Forest University Summer Internship Abroad Program offers qualified Wake Forest students summer internship opportunities relevant to their field of study in one of five locations. All internships are customized to fit the academic and professional goals of students. Locations of internships include: Dublin, Ireland; London, England; Madrid, Spain; Paris, France and Sydney, Australia. A Wake Forest faculty member must serve as student intern’s supervisor and assign and assess coursework. Coursework may include reflective journals, essays, readings or e-mail correspondence. Interns generally work full-time (35-40 hours/week) in Dublin, Madrid, Paris and Sydney. In London, students work 24 hours/ week and take a corresponding course. In-country internship supervisor’s mid-term review and final evaluation are calculated into grade assessment.
